Cape Hatteras Shipwreck Log

The sea. Most of us are drawn to it who share this island heritage. It is also very few of us that haven't heard of an ancestor or islander that came to live here due to their ship meeting an ill fate and tossing them ashore. There is also the story of at least 2000 wrecks in the Graveyard Of The Atlantic. That is what has led HIGPSto create this master list of shipwrecks. Through documents, newspapers, & other forms of written fact and lore, we will investigate and create what we know to be the truth of the matter. This page will also be a memorial to all who lost their lives at sea. The bar they have crossed, but their spirits remain.
